"Data crashes"! I need help!!! - HTC Startrek

Hi....
I made a mistake of trying out lokiwiz's tool to try & unlock the SIMLock on my Cingular 3100.
Now, whenever I insert a SIM card, I get a "Data crashes." error message. It stays on as long as the phone function is turned on so that I cannot use the phone for anything else.
I have the necessary files that the lokiwiz tool backed up to restore.
I've tried to restore the lock_backup.bin file (obtained with the lokiwiz0.3a program to obtain the SIM lock code) with lokiwiz0.2b but the error message still returns.
Does anyone know what is the problem? Is the phone useless now?
It seems the radio function that is activated by the presence of the SIM card is in an error state.
Anyone with experience with this, please point me in the right direction.
The warranty is out so sending the phone back to Cingular is out of the question & too costly.
Thanks in advance!

Problem fixed!
Problem fixed using the supercid.bin file obtained during the SuperCID unlocking.
Now, to figure out how to SIM Unlock.

I did the same.
Hi Konker, I did the same as you trying the lokiwiz, I had the data crashes problem and then reflashed the supercid bin file back and this helped, now I am able to use any sim card in the phone but no signal (service) at all , after all this I was able to obtain the unlocking code from cingular but now I don't know where to enter it, as the phone receives any sim card and gives total access without showing the screen to enter the unlocking code, do you know how to reestablish the phone to it's original state where the unlock code is requested each time you enter a different sim??

It could be a problem with the SIM unrelated to unlocking.
Does the SIM work in another phone? Does the SIM that came with the XDA2 still work? Have you tried another hard reset?
i tryed different SIM cards! the sim cards working fine! The original card not working anymore! I flashed the 1.6.0 in it now and the same radio stack seems not working fine! Can we rewrite the GSM settings again (maybe corupted)?

So you also re-flashed it with a different ROM? I suspect that the problems are more related to this than due to the unlocking. The unlocking uses the official interface and no unorthodox methods are used to unlock it. I've had no reports from anyone that the phone did not work afterwards or even that the unlock code did not work. It is important to consider all aspects that could have influence else you might be hunting for the wrong solution.
Don't know what is realy rong with it. I locke it back (AT%HTCLOCK...) and now radio at least saying Searching (with same firmware). Do u have a full gsm backup (tunning as well?) maybe is something messed there.
I use ICQ or MSN or Yahoo messager can u please PM with ur details saw we can chat live?
Thank's
Try to change the band
HOW?
Radio does not work after unlock
Got the unlock code from Cingular. The code was accepted. Entered T-Mobile SIM but then phone will not make or receive calls. Even after putting original Cingular SIM it will not work.
Inserted another Cingular SIM and attempted call. It starts working. However, if I put T-Mobile SIM it would go back to same state.
Any help would be appreciated.
It is MDA 3 from Siemens for Cingular with Radio version 1.02.10

"No Service" no matter what radio

No matter what radio I upgrade to I have no service on my 8525, some radio roms even say no service even when the sim card isn't in. other roms just continually search and then eventually say no service. It is not the sim card, it works perfectly in my other cingular phones, and my device is unlocked anyways.
Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I would fix it? it is not the OS rom, it happens with both WM5 and WM6, everything else works with the phone, well actually my microphone wasn't working for cellular calls (when i still could make them) it would only work for the voice recorder
when I used the check image command in mtty, i got this
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x50C4A5F0
SPL CRC checksum = 0xC27E0E42
CE CRC checksum = 0xF21F01B9
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xB924B6BA
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xB845CC64
Cmd>
BTW, why does it say Cmd instead of usb, what does this mean?
I got the same CRC in my Radio (version is 1.51.00.10):
IPL CRC checksum = 0x80C8FEE6
SPL CRC checksum = 0x327DEB48
CE CRC checksum = 0xE6F4D57A
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xA9AB06C9
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xB845CC64
And I got no problems with SIM. Maybe it's a hardware related problem (antenna or something like this).
When you flash a radio rom, does it change everything that has to do with the cellular connection? or could something have been changed that wasn't supposed to be like how people were losing their wifi because the eeprom chip was getting erased due to OS flashing
Iv'e given up, i've flashed countless radios, and they all say no service, even when there is a sim card in it, and for some reason it doesnt even say when there isn't a sim card in there. Does anyone want to buy it off me?

Scratch that, how about I pay the first person that helps me to fix it on my own $30 via paypal, and you will help me over AIM (---------), so no one can "copy" someone else.
It seems that the only radio that recognizes when I do and do not have a sim in is the 1.16 one, and even then it has no service, although it ocassionaly searches, only to say no service once again.
Also, Sim Manager, and the Phone under settings will not open
Check with your provider that the IMEI of your phone has not been blocked. You should test this with a sim card from another network, but also it's worth phoning up your provider and asking them to check if your IMEI has been blocked as it doesn't propagate to all networks instantly.
This happened to me with similar symptoms, fortunately it occurred as a mistake of T-Mobile when they were blocking the current phone of the person who owned my phone originally.
my radio too would not connect.
also my mtty.exe would not connect,
i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?
I have a white Softbank X01HT version of Hermes.
Since the OS is Japanese i cannot read but i am a WM user already so i could find my way through.
I turned it on and did not let the ext rom install, also Also, i ran the Hermes Unlocker V3a.
It said Unlocked SIM and Cuper CID unlocked.
Also, i checked the Windows folder on the device and could not see a file names upd.log, so i assume
the ext rom did not install.
Now i put my sim it does not ask for an Unlock code so i guess phone's unlocked. But i got an USIM screen
asking for passsword i guess in japanese, which i think is the vodafone software lock, so to remove it i ran
the file from imei-check.co.uk and i think it worked although my phone had frozen showing a large unlock icon
on screen, so i soft reset and this time i dont see the usim screen again with my non vodafone sim inserted.
But neither does it get a gsm signal, all i could see is an "exclamation !" sign besides the signal icon.
I then did the HardSPL v7 Flashing and then upgraded my radio to 1.43, still no luck with GSM signal.
What to do?
Shall i flash to a English ROM? if yes then which one?
Plss help.
Thanks,
Michelle
I put in a t-mobile sim, and its recognized, and I get a couple of bars, however if i turn off the radio it will not let me turn it back on, and sometimes, randomly i will get no service, normally where i have full bars.
also, i have to softreset the phone to get a signal no matter how long i wait
Radio Worked Now
Okay i was not sure what it was but i ran the Hermes Unlocker like 3 times and on the third attempt it worked, now i can see radio signals and make/recv. calls.
Wonder what caused this, may be i made some mistake running the unlocker first time around but even then phone should have asked me for an unlock code if sim unlock did not happen, but i am happy it works now.
But i dont think it would help you cos yours i guess is an 8525 and you are on ATT network so you dont require unlocking, but no harm in trying if you wish.
How do you usee mtty.exe?
would not connect for me - i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?
Can you write me the steps for this pls?
I just want to know what my Boot loader version is.
Even though you have bars on T-Mo, make sure you can make calls etc - when my IMEI was blocked, o2 would report no service, but T-Mobile gave me a signal. However, I could not make calls on text with the T-Mo sim despite having signal.

I wish it fixed the problem, I have to turn my phone off during school, and its a hassle to have to reset it every time I lose service, and after i turn the radio off. Also I called cingular and they did not block my IMEI, and I tried a different cingular sim and it didn't work. Thats very odd, maybe it has something to do with the band.
This seems hopeless. Does anyone have an estimate of how much it would cost to have HTC repair my phone?

::Hero100 Unlock::

Hello everyone. I have one Hero100. I have the code for unlock but the phone has failed to unlock. It's locked on orange. When I enter the code , I get no service on the screen. and when I restart it, it asks for the unlock code again. How can I go about this? Its a bit strange.
sounds like orange gave you an incorrect code...
you have put a NON-orange sim in when you try this, yes?
if it fails again, go back to orange and ask for the correct code, as they have the wrong one.
The code is working. When I put the Code I get a successful msg but it wont pick up the network and also when it restarts it asks folr the code again.
The same
I have got the same problem.
I have got that unlock number but after unlocking phone, there is no range at all and info 'no service', but i am able to use 'Sim Toolkit'.
Where is a problem???
hi i'm having the same problem code is gud and it works but after that it says no servic. and when i restart or put any other sim again and turn on the phone it again asks for the code . whats wrong plz
I think not so many people have seen this phone.
I am also having this issue. Simlocked to Orange got my code and put it in and it was successful then it just stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen.
Been using HTC with windows mobile for years but decided to try android. Am I doign something wrong as I cant seem to access any phone fucntionality without putting a sim in then I get this problem we are having.
On a WM device you would still be able to access everything without having a sim in- just using it n PDA mode
, I am having the exact same problem. I have a HTC hero from orange as my contract phone. I have bought the unlock code from from swift unlock (ebay) and entered the code when prompted. The phone says the network is unlocked but the I can't get any network service, and if toggled the flight mode on and off or switched the phone off and on it will ask for the code again. If I put the orange sim in everything is back to normal. I even tried to hard reset the phone and have a fresh start while the unsupported sim is inserted but the same happens again with the addition of a message "unlocking sim". I thought the code was wrong or something, so I got the code again this time from a high street shop and it was the same code. So nothing is wrong with code itself. The guy at the shop told me that he has great problems with unlocking this phone as some seem to accept the code without any problems and others have this no service issue and he doesn't know the reason for it. I am thinking of flashing a new firmware and radio and see what happens, but this will be probably tomorrow. Sorry for my long post, but I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with code itself.
Yeah I dont think there is a problem with my code either. Im new to android but have been a winmo user for years, I havent rooted my Hero yet (only got it today) but that was going to be what I try next: root then network unlock.
Let us know what happens when you flash yours.
Possible Solution
When i unlocked my phone i thought the exact same thing, that it hadn't worked - it said no network, something something about my sim, etc. Later on though, I went outside and it was working. Unbelieveable i thought. Turns out when your in an area with no reception (my house) the Hero decides to boldly make sure you know that it's not getting any signal by giving you big scary messages
So once you've entered the unlock code, let it load up the UI fully, turn phone off, and then turn on again and put it somewhere you definately get a recpetion
Anyway this might answer your problems, then again might not.
Thanks for the suggestion but I dont think that is the problem in my case as I do get reception. Although for me once I have put the unlock could it it says success (or whatever) then goes to saying 'unlocking sim' it doesn't atually load up any interface.
Out of intereset where did you (all) your get your unlock code? I got mine from Unlock Now, anyone else got a code from them and can confirm it works?
Hi, I have flashed the new modaco 2.2 rom, and inserted the unsupported sim, but sadly with the same exact result "no service". I then flashed the latest radio from modaco, and repeated the steps but this time after the first time you put your unlock code it will say "no service as usual" but if you try to toggle flight mode on and off the phone will prompt for the code again and then it will greet you with a no sim is inserted or so, so it seems with the new radio the phone doesn't even detect your sim. If I put the orange sim everything is back to normal again even with the new radio.

[q] tg01 blocked sim

Hello everyone, Happy Monday
I have a TOSHIBA TG01 original service provider Telefonica Movistar Spain.
Windows 6.5 OS
I am currently living in Greece and tried to use a WIND GREECE sim card.
At first my phone asked for my PIN, then afterwords asked for a network unlock code. I made the mistake of guessing the code a couple of times.
I finally purchased a network unlock code, but the phone dose not give me the option to enter this code anymore after entering my PIN.
The Home Screen Displays: BLOCKED SIM
If I click on the network icon it asks my for NETWORK PUK, ( I DONT KNOW THIS CODE) what is this? I cant find information about this ether.
I tried to find several ways to get back the option to re-enter the code using the information I can find on internet and forums, but can not find a solution.
It seems other phones give the option at some point using Dialing Pad Codes, or thru some settings... but I cant find a list of Dialing Pad Codes specifically for Toshiba TG01 or any Toshiba phones.
Is there any simple solution to this problem?
Steps I have tried.
1. Hard reset and soft rest... No success.
2. Hard reset and soft rest with sim card... No success.
3. Entering unlock code in Network PUK screen... No success.
4. Entering unlock code in a 0 reception area... No success.
5. Tried several different sim cards... No success.
This seems to be a internal block on the phone, is there anyway to reset this?
personal discovery
1. I used Total Commander to explore my phone.
2. I downloaded identical SimLock files from this site from another person that had a unlocked Tg01 Movistar Spain.
3. Swapped the ones i had on my phone.
4. Realized the phone was unlocked, but was running really really slow.
5. I hardreset my phone, because it wasn't worth it and went back to my normal Blocked Sim state.
This to me means somewhere in those files was the key to my counter reset problem, since the phone didnt ask for anymore Network PUK code.
If someone could enlighten me as to what actually happened?

xt910 locked up

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with my phone. Hope someone will be able to help me.
I was not sure if my phone is unlocked when I came on holiday. Bought and put a different provider sim card and there was no signal. Also showed nothing to type unlocking code, so I thought that maybe something with a new sim card is wrong.
I bought a second card from another provider to be sure. On the screen appeared: enter sim network unlock code or something like that. ok so I have to unlock.
Now the strangest thing. when I put back my old sim card (o2), on the screen appeared again: enter sim network unlock code!
Since then I can not use the phone because it still asks for the unlock code.
I tried to change the soft but still do not have signal and no longer asks for the unlock code. anyone know how to force a window to enter the code?
I tried unlocking code from a cellunlocker but not working and and when i switched on my mobile is showing invalid SIM card.
someone has any ideas of ​​what i can do with it?
sry for my english
